New Trends in Kitchen Cabinet Design
Less Wall, Going Taller
For smooth flow and better productivity in kitchens, more open floor plans are continually getting popular. With this setup, less space is left to mount above the counters making pedestal cabinets a hit. This new trend in kitchen cabinet design has provided more height options to help maximize spaces in between. Being taller by around 40 inches or more than the standard, pedestal cabinets can hold in more items. This style option serves as a creative and space-efficient way that you can have your New York contractor do to integrate architectural elements such as posts or columns into the room.
Furniture-Grade
In the recent decades, a primary change in kitchen cabinet designs that has been well-received by homeowners in New York and throughout the country is the transformation of standard cabinetry into custom huge furniture pieces. Many of these types are custom-made so make sure you hire the best fitting contractor to do the job efficiently for you. Another way to achieve this trend that creates the same feel is by having standard kitchen cabinets joined with attractive furniture pieces. Wood-finished cabinetry remains the popular choice, completing the furniture look.
Wood and Finishes
Though not a new trend, timeless and beautiful wood will always be a favorite of homeowners, contractors and realtors alike. Top contenders when it comes to wood material of choice include maple, mahogany, alder, cherry and oak. To come up with a kitchen cabinet design extraordinaire out of this traditional fashion, exotic species like knotty chestnut, Canadian red birch, quarter-sawn white oak, and Old French white oak are trendy.
When it comes to finishes, glazed is definitely in. Glazing, that creates that delightful furniture-like appeal, makes the characteristic grain and color of wood stand out by adding depth and richness into it.
Conveniently at Your Fingertips
When it comes to new trends in kitchen cabinet design, lots of customizations and add-ons have paved way to a great emphasis in function and achieving maximized storage. Not only can these features be availed by having them laid out in your cabinets by a skilled contractor. New solutions are also introduced to the market which you can readily buy and use. Particularly popular customized options to homeowners are drawer organizers, pull-out waste cans, slide-out towel bars, pull-down shelves as well as systematic pullouts behind single-drawer fronts.
